Water coming from AC normal?
Water coming from AC normal? Whenever I run my AC for more than 15 mins, it starts to leak some water. I can hear it hitting the exhaust pipes and can see some dripping on the ground. Anything to worry about?
Perfectly normal. Pop your hood after the A/C has been on for 15 minutes, the drier/accumulator (silver can looking thing on the passenger side) will be drenched with cold water all around it, thats where its dripping from. Just like when you get water accumulating all around a cold glass of water sitting on your coffee table....same thing.

The water you see is water draining from the Evaporator inside the car. AC removes the moisture in the air by forcing the air inside your car through the Evaporator. The Evaporator is ICE cold from the expansion of coolant, this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense on the surface of the Evaporator where is collects and falls off into a drain pan where it then exits your car and forms a puddle. If you look closely under the car on the passenger side you will see the drain.
